The grocery store makes a 20% profit on baked goods. The profit for baked goods last month was $600. What was the total sales for baked goods last month

Respuesta :

Let x = total sales of baked goods      remember 20% = .20 as a decimal

so the equation would be .20x = $600

divide both sides by .20

                                     .20x/.20 = $600/.20

           

                                                x = $3000 the total sales of baked goods

CHECK:  20% times $3000 = .20 times $3000 = $600
